President Joe Biden celebrated his 81st birthday by participating in the annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition of pardoning two turkeys named Liberty and Bell. In a lighthearted ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Biden joked about his age and made puns while granting clemency to the turkeys. The birds, weighing 42 pounds each, will retire at the University of Minnesota's College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences. Biden's focus on Pennsylvania, where the turkeys were named after the Liberty Bell, suggests the state's importance in future elections.
